IMPROVEMENT-m sTALLs PoR PREVENTING cRIBBINc'af.

`To all whom it mag/:concerni l Be it known thatI, JOHN KRAUs, of `.Clarence,in the county of -Erie and State of New York, (assignor to myself" and HENRY LABPQ have invented acertain 1 new and improved Device for Preventing Horses from ,'Gl'ibbing; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, reference being "had to the accompanying drawing making a part l `of this specific-ation, in 'whiche- Figure Iis alongitudinal vertical section; and e ,FignreII, a "transverse .vertical section of a stall for cribbing horses,` showing the position of a horse `therein'.

Figure III `sa["Jel'spective` view of a-horses head, provided with an improved bridle-bit. l l i 'Ihis invention relates to the construction of 'a stall for cribbiighorses, with inclined side walls and headhoard, the lnangerbeing placed npon the floor of the stall, and the bitching-staple underneath the headboard, and out of' reach of thehorse..v l

Letters of likename andkind refer to like parts in A A` represent the side walls of a stall fon crib-bine,r horses. They are erected iran.inclined'positiom lean e inginwarilytoward the horse. l

B represents ahead-board, which is hinged at its bottoni', and may be adjusted at any desired, inclina- `ton:.

The spacebetiveen'this `head-board and the end wall may be used ,for a. hay-crib, the horse `feeding from the bottoni, whichl is located 'ata height level with or `below-the knees ofthe animal. i

p t 4Cllhe manger, C, is placedistill lower, or on the iioor The Schedule referred to in ,these Letters Patent and making part of the same of the stall. 'Ihe horse is 'hitched to 'a staple,n D, driven into the end wall immediately below tle lower' end of the head-board B, and entirely out of reach of `the animal.

. It is probably not generally known, but has been `established by prominent' horsemen as a fact, that vhitchii'lg-staple- (another favored place for cribbng) is suclrthat it cannot be conveniently approached.

.Thus my arrangements for' preventing horses from cribbing in the stall are complete, and horses thus afflicted may, by the use of my invention, be entirely' cured in a short time, as I have proved by actual experiment.

The side wallsand head-board maybe covered with `tin or sheetfiron, fol; the pnrposeof making their surv- 'ac'es smooth, hard, and slippery.

What Iclaim as my invention, and .desire Vtosc-cure by Letters Patent, isl A stall for cribloing,r horses, the side walls, A, and head-board, B, of which'are inclined inwardly, sub-V stantially as and for the purpose described.

JOHN KRAUS.
